  Narrow Shield

  The above two do not match. But there are a total of 28 varieties that PCGS has graded and here they are:

  I've been looking at these for a few years now. For the price I like it and it appears to have good surfaces. I'm curious to know what grade it was given by ANACS.

  The simplest way to get an idea of the price / grade distribution is to look at sold examples on ebay.
  It looks like there are many decent New Jersey coppers in the $50 - $150 range.

  My bad I thought I started the grade but I didn't! It is a vg 10

  ANACS Pop Report.

  Not very intuitive!

  Does the slab label say it's a Maris 23-P or did you determine it?

  At VG10 I wonder can you get a discount due to the cracked holder? Peace Roy

  LCS is closing in two days and I got this for $120. I've had my eyes on these early copper coins and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a guaranteed authentic one. The surfaces on the coin are nice, however on the obverse there is one small green dot. The holder is also beat and needs to be reholdered. What should I do? Cross to PCGS? Reholder with ANACS? Should I attempt to get rid of the green dot? Great looking coin IMO regardless.
